After Travel Agent commissions have been calculated, they appear in the Commissions Payable screen until they are processed for payment. From this screen, you can generate either a commission check format or a commission statement. Printing the selected commissions marks them as paid and removes them from the payable list. This article explains how to print Travel Agent commission checks or statements and finalize payment in Visual Matrix Cloud.
Path: Accounting > Travel Agents > Commissions Payable
Instructions
The Commissions Payable screen displays all reservations linked to Travel Agents. The grid includes the calculated commission amount for each reservation, even if the commission is $0. Use the filters at the top of the screen to narrow the list by Travel Agent, Travel Agent type, Source Code, or Cut Off Date.
1. Use the filters at the top of the screen to narrow results:
- IATA #: Filter by a specific Travel Agent.
- T/A Type: Filter by the Travel Agent’s commission classification, such as Regular Travel Agent, In-House Sales, Non-Commissionable, or Prepaid Commission.
- Source Code: Filter by the Travel Agent’s internal grouping code (Company Code) used to categorize agents (for example, Tourism or Business).
- Cut Off Date: Display commissions earned through a specific date.
- Remove 0 Comm: Removes any reservations where the calculated commission amount is $0.00, so you only see entries with commission payable.
2. Click Refresh after adjusting filters.

3. Select Commissions to Pay. In the grid:
- Review the reservation details and calculated Commission amount.
- Check the box in the Pay column for each commission you want to process.
- To select all visible entries, you may use Pay All (if applicable).
4. Print the Payment.
You will be prompted to choose:
- Check: Generates a commission payment in check format.
- Statement: Generates a commission statement format.
Select the desired format and proceed with printing.
5. Printing a commission document does not automatically mark it as paid. After printing, you must choose whether to update the commissions as paid:
- Yes: Commissions are marked as paid and removed from the payable list.
- No: The document prints, but the commissions remain unpaid and can be processed later.
If commissions are marked as paid in error, you must void the printed check or statement to return them to payable status.
